Microsoft Security Essentials (codenamed Morro) beta to be available soon.

This is one of the Microsoft products that I am actually waiting for (besides Windows 7). From readings at Zdnet blogs and neowin, it does seems promising, especially for basic protection for newly installed PC. Its downloaded size of roughly 4-5 MB is definitely tiny, which even makes the lightweight AVG looks like a giant.

Stay tuned for June 23rd !

Here's some screenies for Morro.
